Magic and sorcery

It's only one wavelength of light: 131 Angstroms.
That is UV light and would not be visible to human eyes.

Interesting! It‘s fascinating what technology can do these days, right? We‘ve come so far looking at the science of things instead of explaining everything that we don‘t understand with the doing of higher beings. Reality is really interesting.

Grimoire: Wikipedia: Grimoire

If you know English and French, then the word sounds a bit like 'grim noire'.

BlueBrain schrieb:If you know English and French

I know both, but I speak almost no French anymore because I never use it.

Let me cite this from the article on grimoires:

'Despite this, "there is ample evidence that the mediaeval clergy were the main practitioners of magic and therefore the owners, transcribers, and circulators of grimoires,"[16] while several grimoires were attributed to Popes.[17]'

BlueBrain schrieb:ample evidence that the mediaeval clergy were the main practitioners of magic

Yes, of course, magic was a big thing back then, because science was not and people had a hard time explaining many things … So it had to be magic! Luckily we‘re further than this today. :)

I think that religious practice itself such as meditation in a mystic union with God or contact to spiritual entities like angels would still require magics for explanation and justification. So no wonder that grimoires were attributed to Popes. Science just cannot grasp spirituality outside the brain since it is personal, subjective and a matter of practice as well as belief.

Satanists are a religious group not founded by me or one of my incarnations.
It took me a while to understand what they mean, but it might be this:

I would not agree with the idea of an intentional scam, though.
Conditions for founding a religion weren't exactly ideal at the time of Jesus.

I think the Satan in the New Testament might have been Ra (the sun) and Jesus was having difficulties with his wishes:

It's been mostly a technical problem, because synchronizing two spirits in one head takes years (3?) and not days.
Don't rush these things?

No, there is no connection in these two stories.

Doesn’t sound healthy to me …

Magic is a relatively complex topic.
That is the reason why there are many books on it.

Indeed. People have always loved writing fiction and thinking what could be possible. How unfortunate that magic will remain fictional, it would be incredibly useful sometimes! But also, it could ruin the world as we know it. Two sides of the same coin.

If the sun is an intelligent organism (Ra), then that entity might get angry on seldom occasions:

Okay now, this really is too far :D You know what this is called? Pareidolia ;)

I know pareidolia, in German it's "Pareidolie".
You can separate the letters of "Pareidolie" like this Pa-Re-I-do-lie.
Ra and Re are synonyms.

That’s right!

It‘s quite interesting to learn where the word comes from, it‘s derived from Greek:

The word derives from the Greek words pará (παρά, "beside, alongside, instead [of]") and the noun eídōlon (εἴδωλον, "image, form, shape").[5]
The German word Pareidolie was used in articles by Karl Ludwig Kahlbaum—for example in his 1866 paper "Die Sinnesdelierien"[6] ("On Delusion of the Senses"). When Kahlbaum's paper was reviewed the following year (1867) in The Journal of Mental Science, Volume 13, Pareidolie was translated into English as "pareidolia", and noted to be synonymous with the terms "...changing hallucination, partial hallucination, [and] perception of secondary images."[7]

Do psychiatrists listen to anyone who isn’t a psychiatrist?
They appear quite a bit like a closed group to me.
Neurobiology might be more open to new ideas.

BlueBrain schrieb:Do psychiatrists listen to anyone who isn’t a psychiatrist?

Oh yeah! They generally listen quite attentively to their patients. And they say a lot of things that are correct.

BlueBrain schrieb:Neurobiology might be more open to new ideas.

Open to new ideas may not always be a good thing. I know psychiatrists might not say what you want to hear, but it‘s important to listen and not just look out for somebody that says what you want to hear. It has to be taken seriously.

If you are a fan of psychiatry - why are there no good movies about psychiatry that come to mind?
Only horror stuff like 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' or even 'Shutter Island'?

BlueBrain schrieb:If you are a fan of psychiatry - why are there no good movies about psychiatry that come to mind?

There are so many! The first one in my mind is a German movie (very rare for me): Systemsprenger
But there is also A Beautiful Mind, To The Bone, even Split is a very good movie about mental health. Do some research, you will surely find many masterpieces.
